Ford Expedition 1999 Complaint

Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

ALTA LOMA , CA

Consumer Complaint:
ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET ON OUR 1999 FORD EXPEDITION WAS REPLACED DUE TO LEAKING OIL, BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. NOW A YEAR LATER, WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. ON THE FREEWAY, A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE SAME RIGHT CYLINDER. THE LOUD NOISE AND CLATTER CAUSED A KNEE JERK RESPONSE,ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE'S MILEAGE IS NOW ONLY 46,000. WE FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD DO THE RESPONSIBLE THING AND RECALL THESE 5.4 L ENGINES WITH THE ALUMINUM CYLINDER HEADS AND AND REPLACE THEM WITH A BETTER DESIGN WITH SAFETY IN MIND. IF YOU CHECK OTHER CONSUMER COMPAINTS, YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLETED INCIDENT.*AK
